Thought: To me, a constant mental state of thankfulness benefits both us and the ones we are thankful for.

Question: Have I prayed for those people I appreciate?

Scripture: Ephesians 1:16 (NIV): "I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers."

Gratefulness is a wonderful thing to possess. A fountain of thanks makes a heart and life attractive to everyone around. Paul has gratefulness for the Ephesian believers, and probably they too have thanks for him. It lifts them all together and promotes love. It keeps them each in the forefront of prayer, too. Anyone for whom we pray is someone who has found a way into our heart and is probably someone for whom we give thanks.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be like the Apostle Paul and never cease praying for my fellow Christians. Amen.
